Lemon Icebox Pie

If you like very lemony and very tart then you will love this pie.

From Shaun Robinson at KPS

1 8 oz. pkg cream cheese, room temperature
1 14oz can condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
3 Tbsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla
1 prepared graham cracker crust
1/2 cup shaved ghiardelli chocolate (which I will OMIT next time)

Combine cream cheese, milk, lemon juice, zest and vanilla in large bowl. Mix on medium speed until smooth. Sprinkle 3/4 of the chocolate on bottom of crust (Use rest for garnish just prior to serving) Pour filling in pie crust and refrigerate overnight.

For me, the chocolate was just nasty. I will leave that out and top this with fresh fruit next time like strawberries or blueberries. A homemade crust would be better, but who does that anymore?
